Hi,

if this message is not thrown ...it doesnt identify the control

It is only possible to find this element if this warning is thrown? Did you check the RxPath with Ranorex Spy?
You are using WPF inside the Excel Application right?

Please answer me also a few additional questions:

• Which version of Ranorex is in use?
• Does this error occur always on the same code part or on different places?
• Would it be possible to post us the code snippet, where the code causes this warning
• Which operating system do you have?
• Are you working on a x86 or x64 system?

Thanks in advance.

Without a code snippet it is hard to find out what's going wrong. Are you sure it is not possible to post or send me the code snippet of the place where this error always occur?
